DISINFO: The Russian Orthodox Church is being sabotaged by Western countries

SUMMARY

The Russian Church is under strong pressure from some Western countries, led by the United States, which has set its sights on the goal of sabotaging the unity of global Orthodoxy.

RESPONSE

A recurring disinformation narrative about the alleged anti-Orthodox strategy of the West (see examples).

The notion that the West wishes to sabotage Orthodox Christianity is a baseless claim.
